Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization PetMed Express, Inc. and subsidiaries, d/b/a 1-800-PetMeds (the “Company”), is a leading nationwide pet pharmacy. The Company markets prescription and non-prescription pet medications, health products, and supplies for dogs and cats, direct to the consumer. The Company markets its products through national television, online, and direct mail/print advertising campaigns, which aim to increase the recognition of the “1-800-PetMeds” brand name and “PetMeds” family of trademarks, increase traffic on its website at www.1800petmeds.com Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue by selling pet medication products and pet supplies mainly to retail consumers. The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue from product sales upon shipment, when the rights of ownership and risk of loss have passed to the customer. Outbound shipping and handling fees are included in sales and are billed upon shipment. Shipping expenses are included in cost of sales. The majority of the Company’s sales are paid by credit cards and the Company usually receives the cash settlement in two to three banking days. Credit card sales minimize the accounts receivable balances relative to sales. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for losses that the Company estimates will arise from the customers’ inability to make required payments, arising from either credit card charge-backs or insufficient funds checks. The Company determines its estimates of the uncollectibility of accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts and current economic trends. At March 31, 2016 and 2015, the allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $13,000 and $8,000, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2016 and 2015 consisted of the Company’s cash accounts and money market accounts with a maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Short Term Investments The Company’s short term investments balance consists of short term bond mutual funds. In accordance with ASC Topic 320 (“ Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Inventories Inventories consist of prescription and non-prescription pet medications and pet supplies that are available for sale and are priced at the lower of cost or market value using a weighted average cost method. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence. The inventory reserve was approximately $64,000 and $63,000 at March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The building is depreciated over a period of thirty years. The furniture, fixtures, equipment, and computer software are depreciated over periods ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements and assets under capital lease agreements are amortized over the shorter of the underlying lease agreement or the useful life of the asset. On December 22, 2015, the Company, by and through a wholly-owned subsidiary entered into an agreement of purchase and sale with an unaffiliated privately held Delaware corporation for the purchase of real property located in Palm Beach County Florida, and improvements thereon (collectively referred to herein as the “Property”), the assignment and assumption of all leases and service agreements affecting the property, and certain tangible and intangible personal property related to the property, for a purchase price of $18.5 million, plus closing costs. The transaction closed on January 19, 2016. The Property consists of approximately 634,000 square feet of land or 14.6 acres with two building complexes totaling approximately 185,000 square feet, with additional land for future use. The first building complex consists of approximately 125,000 square feet consisting of both office and warehouse. The second building complex consists of approximately 60,000 square feet consisting of both office and warehouse space. Once the property is renovated to the Company’s specifications and ready for its operation, expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company intends to occupy approximately 97,000 square feet of the first building for its principal offices and distribution center, and to continue to operate the remaining office and warehouse space pursuant to existing leases. As of March 31, 2016, 48% of the property was leased to two tenants with a remaining weighted average lease term of 4.0 years. Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset. Intangible Assets The intangible asset consists of a toll-free telephone number and an internet domain name. In accordance with the ASC Topic 350 (“ Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Fair Value of Financial In struments The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Advertising The Company's advertising expenses consist primarily of television advertising, online marketing, and direct mail/print advertising. Television advertising costs are expensed as the advertisements are televised. Internet costs are expensed in the month incurred and direct mail/print costs are expensed when the related catalogs, brochures, and postcards are produced, distributed, or superseded. Business Concentrations The Company purchases its products from a variety of sources, including certain manufacturers, domestic distributors, and wholesalers. We have multiple suppliers for each of our products to obtain the lowest cost. There were four suppliers from whom we purchased approximately 50% of all products in fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015. Accounting for Share Based Compensation The Company records compensation expense associated with restricted stock in accordance with ASC Topic 718 ( “Share Based Payment” Comprehensive Income The Company applies ASC Topic 220 (“ Reporting Comprehensive Income March 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $54,000, an unrealized loss of $17,000 and an unrealized loss of $35,000 on its short term investments, respectively.

These reclassifications had no impact on net income, shareholders’ equity or cash flows as previously reported. Recent Accounting Pronouncements On November 20, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update on Income Taxes (Topic 740) which requires an entity to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The update becomes effective April 1, 2017, however early adoption is permitted. The Company chose early adoption for the periods presented. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on leases which supersedes the current lease guidance. The core principle requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from nearly all leases in the statement of financial position. Accounting applied by lessors will remain largely consistent with previous guidance, additional changes s et to align lessor accounting with the revised lessee model and the FASB’s revenue recognition guidance. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |
